What is the "sourest" edible fruit?
Im not sure its possible to tell, because as far as I know theres no measurment for sour taste.
Its so I can buy one for a cooking novelty. I already keep a bag of Naga Jolokias, the hottest fruit, in my salad drawer. I heard somewhere that its ment to be Kumquats or Soursap. But Ive tried both fruits and they weren't that sour.
A scientific awnser would be great. Cheers, Gavin.
What is the "sourest" edible fruit?
The Tamarind fruit is the most sour edible fruit on the planet.
Tamarinds are evergreen trees that can grow to 80 feet high. The fruit of this tree is a 3 - 8 inch long, brown, irregularly curved pods. As the pods mature, they fill out somewhat and the juicy, acidulous pulp turns brown or reddish-brown. When fully ripe, the shells are brittle and easily broken. The pulp dehydrates to a sticky paste enclosed by a few coarse stands of fiber. The pods may contain from 1 to 12 large, flat, glossy brown, obovate seeds embedded in the brown, edible pulp.
To make use of the edible sour pulp, you soak the pods and then blend with enough water to form a paste in your blender. You then strain through cheese cloth to form a tamarind sauce. Some times you have to take the tamarind juice and put it back in the blender with a few teaspoons of the pulp left behind in the cheese cloth to thicken it up a bit.
It is very good and what makes it so unique is that it is the most sour edible fruit on the planet. Much more sour than limes. Matter of fact, you have actually tasted tamarind before if you have ever ate "Sour Balls" hard candy. Many commercial candy companies use tamarind extract in their sour candies.
Most of its colloquial names are variations on the common English term. In Spanish and Portuguese, it is tamarindo; in French, tamarin, tamarinier, tamarinier des Indes, or tamarindier; in Dutch and German, tamarinde; in Italian, tamarandizio; in Papiamiento of the Lesser Antilles, tamarijn. In the Virgin Islands, it is sometimes called taman; in the Philippines, sampalok or various other dialectal names; in Malaya, asam jawa; in India, it is tamarind or ambli, imli, chinch, etc.; in Cambodia, it is ampil or khoua me; in Laos, mak kham; in Thailand, ma-kharm; in Vietnam, me.
You can also have more info at this address

I hope you will find my research satisfactory.
PS: You can find small blocks of seedless tamarind pulp for a few bucks at most Asian grocery stores.
Reply:Lemons and Limes
Reply:Fruit varies, even within the same group. I've had lemons from the same tree have different "sourness" -- but overall I would say the lemon is the most sour to me, but I love it.
I've also hear that the fruit of a hybrid orange-lemon-naartjie tree is the most sour - but I have no first hand (or is that first tongue) evidence.

Any Citrus Farmers or people?
I need some help figuring out a few things about it...
How do you harvest oranges or kumquats.. by hand?
How much do you spend a year on the farm and how much do you profit from it?
What types of fertilizers do you use if any?
Any Citrus Farmers or people?
Pretty much same as Paul in San Diego. I live in South Marion County Florida %26amp; mine are hand-picked. Once you do it 1 yr or so, you pretty much know a general date to pick but u shouldn't have to pull or twist too much to get the fruit off tree.
My kumquats were ripe approx 3-4 weeks ago, my tangerines ripe at Christmas and other oranges in January. There generally isn't a great profit in this...period. No matter the size of your grove. I go to Porter's Nursery and they have these colorful bags (orange %26amp; green) of Citrus Fertilizer which I put at the base of all of my trees.
Not sure where you live but you can visit the writer Marjorie Rawlings homestead which is owned by Univ of Florida-Gainesville %26amp; located in Cross Creek Florida. Tours daily %26amp; caretakers inform you on everything including how they take care of their great variety of citrus. I only say this because this is a great place to plan a vacation to %26amp; the cemetary for the real life characters of "Cross Creek/Yearling" books is a few miles from house %26amp; it is all sooo interesting. Yearling Restaurant in the area too.
Reply:Just pluck them off the tree by hand when they're completely orange. Growers usually hire laborers to pick the fruit. They get paid by how much they pick.
I don't have a farm, but I have kumquat, lime, and tangerine trees.
Use a granular fertilizer that is specifically designed for citrus and avocados. You just sprinkle it on the ground around the base of the tree and water it in.

Reefer madness, huh? Sorry, anything having to do with marijuana reminds me of my ex-pothead ex-boyfriend who, despite religiously attending Narcotics Anonymous, acted line he was stoned sometimes and eventually broke my heart when he got involved with an Attention Deficit Disordered jeweler.

What fruits can I grow on my bedroom windowsill?
I have been looking at plants such as kumquats. I live in England (considering climate) and I think my window faces north east to north north east (Google Earth)
What fruits can I grow on my bedroom windowsill?
Kumquats can make good house plants but will need at least half a day of direct sunlight. Also turn the pot occasionally so that it gets an even distribution of light all round or else it will grow in one direction. Mist it occasionally and give it a citrus feed during the growing season.
You could try growing cape gooseberry (physalis peruviana) but its only an annual so will have to be discarded after it has fruited.
Reply:How about Mini Citrus? Meyer Lemons are quite hardy and do well indoors in a sunny place.
Reply:I think ever bearing strawberry plants would be nice.
Reply:I do not think you have enough sun. Fruits and vegetables need more of a southerly facing exposure to produce.....
Reply:Windowsills are usually too narrow to hold plants that need some room to breathe. A table in front of the window could work if you have enough space for it. Your window faces away from the sun and this could be a problem. I'd stay with an indoor foliage plant like sanseveria (a.k.a. snake plant/mother-in-law's tongue) which can exist in lower light and with a very upright leaf. You can even get a bird's nest variety.
Kumquat plants, although smaller than other citrus, still require much more space and they need summer temps of 25-38C. They may be enticing, but, they surely spell DISAPPOINTMENT if you want to grow them indoors.

Reply:Many passionfruit vines will grow well on windowsills, and are decorative as well.

Reply:so called "negative calorie" diets or foods are based on personal opinion not on science. it is a proven and undisputed scientific fact that proteins have the greatest thermogenic effect, then carbohydrates then fats. so the body will expend more energy digesting 3 oz. of protein then it will 3 oz of any carbohydrate or 3 oz of fat. people with the genetic predisposition for obesity and/or easy weight gain do not have normally functioning metabolism. their bodies do not expend as much energy digesting foods. this is one of many reasons why some people continue to gain weight even on a reduced calorie diet.
Reply:Most of these are actually considered neutral calorie foods (ie you don't gain or loose anything by eating them)
Reply:Well, not to sure. An expert might no.
Reply:As a persons B.M.R. (the amount of energy intake required just to maintain essential bodily functions without physically doing anything) can be 2000 - 2500 Kcals, if you just ate these types of foods you would have to eat a vast quantity just to maintain body mass, add in work, if you walk say, 5 miles per day, you would need to consume the equivalent to around 70 apples per day, that is going some even for the North East area Apple eating champ!!
Reply:The only one I had heard of was celery - and I believe that was debunked!
Most of the other fruit %26amp; veg contain fruit sugars although I guess the offset may be enough to make up for that.
Most greens ARE calorie AND carb neutral so can be eaten on diets.
Not sure about frogs legs - never felt the complusion to try them!!!
Reply:If it were true and you only ate those foods for 3 months then you would starve to death. It is a myth. They say you burn more calories then you get eating them but that is included. If you ate only those foods you would not get fat since most of them are healthy. You already know that the bad foods are those made by man like bread, pasta, candy, ice cream, crackers etc. Add a lot of salt to any of the above and they are very fattening.
There are more diets than ever and more people dieting than ever and yet we have the fattest society ever. So a lot of these ideas about losing weight, make you fatter. Cutting calories, carbs and fats can cause you to have a weight problem for life. It is better to eat differently. See site below and learn why lean meat, black coffee and non-fat yogurt are so fattening. The people counting calories are the fat people.
Also salt has no calories but makes you fat. This also has the quickest weight loss possible. Eat good carbs, not bad carbs. Nourish your body thin, instead of starving your body fat. Eat foods made by nature
and avoid foods made by man which are designed to make you fat and very addicted to food. 5th link on "LINKS" page is BMI calculator to see if you are overweight.

Most of the other fruit %26amp; veg contain fruit sugars although I guess the offset may be enough to make up for that.
Most greens ARE calorie AND carb neutral so can be eaten on diets.
Not sure about frogs legs - never felt the complusion to try them!!!
Reply:If it were true and you only ate those foods for 3 months then you would starve to death. It is a myth. They say you burn more calories then you get eating them but that is included. If you ate only those foods you would not get fat since most of them are healthy. You already know that the bad foods are those made by man like bread, pasta, candy, ice cream, crackers etc. Add a lot of salt to any of the above and they are very fattening.
There are more diets than ever and more people dieting than ever and yet we have the fattest society ever. So a lot of these ideas about losing weight, make you fatter. Cutting calories, carbs and fats can cause you to have a weight problem for life. It is better to eat differently. See site below and learn why lean meat, black coffee and non-fat yogurt are so fattening. The people counting calories are the fat people.
Also salt has no calories but makes you fat. This also has the quickest weight loss possible. Eat good carbs, not bad carbs. Nourish your body thin, instead of starving your body fat. Eat foods made by nature
and avoid foods made by man which are designed to make you fat and very addicted to food. 5th link on "LINKS" page is BMI calculator to see if you are overweight.

Do you think they should rename certain foods?
Certain foods just have an unappetizing name...(ie Kumquats, Yogurt, Succotash, Wheat Germ, etc) Personally I think I would eat more of them if they had better names I think. : D
Do you think they should rename certain foods?
Turnip, brussel sprouts, tofu, eggplant, parsnips (sounds painful), liver (actually, anything named for an organ), and my all time favourite (for sounding AND being disgusting)... HEAD CHEESE.
The proof IS in the pudding, and the medium is the message... names do matter. Have to say I agree!
Reply:Good question. Don't forget sour cream, sour kraut and Tofu.
Reply:Good point- I never thought of that

Do you think they should rename certain foods?
Turnip, brussel sprouts, tofu, eggplant, parsnips (sounds painful), liver (actually, anything named for an organ), and my all time favourite (for sounding AND being disgusting)... HEAD CHEESE.

What's the name of that tiny yellow fruit used to garnish desserts in restaurants?
A lot of my desserts in restaurants have recently been garnished with a tiny yellow fruit (quite bitter) which has beautiful transparent leaves. I think they're like unripe tomatoes and the seeds are similar. Somebody told me they're kumquats but I know they're not because I used to eat kumquats all the time in South America and they're not at all similar. Does anybody know the name of these strange fruits?

They are cape gooseberries, also known as physalis
Reply:Physalis. I actually bought a punnet of them from Asda last week - they're gorgeous!!
Reply:Its certainly not a persimmon or sharon fruit or kaki because they are very sweet and not small, but it could definitely be a physallis because they are small and sharp tasting.
Reply:Is it star fruit or maybe sharon fruit?

Does anyone remember this old cartoon?
I used to watch it when I was younger, back in the 80's but I think it may have been old even then!
It had a talking elephant in it, I think he was blue, and he used to get stressed alot.
He was either being chased or hunted or the jungle he lived in was being chopped down or something but he was alway really neurotic!
And he used to shout KUMQUATS! or maybe he only did it in one episode when he couldn't find any food or something, but I'll never forget him shouting it!
KUMQUATS!?!
Anyone else remember it?

Little Blue was the story of an elephant who when having a bath one day got his mummy's fountain pen and broke it in two. The ink went everywhere and no matter how hard they scrubbed the little elephant had to stay a little blue.

Sitting in his bath one day as some of us do.
He bit his Mummy's fountain pen and broke it in two.
The ink it splurted in the water - WOW!
His Mummy has a blue boy now.

Reply:Barbar the Elephant I remember it :)
Babar the Elephant is a popular French children's fictional character who first appeared in History de Babar by Jean de Brunhoff in 1931 and enjoyed immediate success. English language versions, entitled The Story of Babar, appeared in 1933 in Britain and the United States. The story is based on a tale by Brunhoff's wife, Cecile, had invented for their children. It tells of a young elephant called Babar who leaves the jungle, visits a big city, and returns to bring the benefits of civilisation to his fellow elephants.
In the uk we had a version of it on our tv's in the 80's . Hope this helps :)

i love this book and i don't want it ruined, i hope Stephanie gets it right like she did in all her three books
Reply:Edward-- Quite possibly the worst character I've ever run across. I loathe him. Sometimes he's eerily and frustratingly and stupidly perfect, which annoys the heck out of me. People like that don't exist! Perfect men don't exist. Edward is unrealistic. He doesn't show girls what real relationships-- even relationships with true love-- are like. But at the same time, he seems like a controlling, bossy, possessive, selfish, manipulative, and overreacting idiot. I just don't like the character at all. I can't connect with his character at all because he's just too inhuman for me. He's way too uptight. He holds Bella back and restricts her. I hate how she is constantly moaning that she's not "good enough" or "good looking enough" for Edward-- she's got a major inferiority complex going on. And I hate how in Eclipse, she refuses to believe anything she picks up on-- she suspects Edward's hiding things from her, and when she goes down to La Push (the day that Jake tells her he's in love with her) she says that Edward looked unhappy. But then she always says it's a "trick of her mind" or "she needs a therapist". She refuses to see him for anything but perfect, and it tires me. I don't see how it's healthy to be in a relationship like that. He's just an empty eggshell character to me... there doesn't seem to be anything beneath the surface (part of that goes back to the fact that he's just so unrealistic most of the time). I don't really understand *why* Edward loves her, either. In Twilight, they are just biology partners... then BAM, they are head over heels. But why? Because he can't hear her thoughts and she smells nice? What if he could hear them... would they have fallen in love then? Why are they so drawn to each other... what makes them "soul mates"? It just makes no sense to me. I don't understand their relationship.
I would go completely insane if I got stuck with someone like Edward. Everything about him just sucks.
Jacob--
Quite possibly one of the best characters ever. I love him. He honestly is one of my favorite characters from any books I've ever read (and I've read a lot). I love how he is warm and sweet and kind and loyal and a true friend and caring and loving. He's so easy to be around, and you can't *not* be comfortable with him. He's so relaxed and happy and easygoing. He's trustworthy... the best friend you could ever have. He's more flexible than Edward... more open to change. He's perfect for Bella in every way. To be honest, I like Bella's character a lot more when she's with Jake. She's not quite as annoying, isn't as dramatic and emotional, and seems more like herself when she's with him. She seems... for lack of a better word... free. She makes her own choices when she's with him... they both have a say in what they will do. When she's with Edward, she's always worrying or freaking out or panicking or comparing her "pitiful self to amazing Edward". She seems almost like she's a slave to him. When she's with Jake, she seems content. Happy to be her. And on top of that, I can understand *why* Bella and Jake love each other because you can see their relationship develop throughout the books. There isn't a whole lot of development in Edward and Bella's relationship (IMO). But I can understand why Jake loves her and why he does the things he does. He's not as mature as Edward, but his love is raw... more pure (IMO). And he's not perfect-- he makes mistakes. He does stupid things. He has human flaws. That makes his love all the move impressive to me. Jake is just the perfect package to me... muscles, looks, AND the best personality EVER.
In my fantasy world, Bella leaves Edward and marries Jake instead. But that's not going to happen. Stephenie Meyer is going to give us the typical cliche "And Edward and Bella got married and she became a vampire and lived happily ever after with her 'true love'" ending in Breaking Dawn so that the Edward lovers won't hunt her down and kill her. I don't want her to even BE with Edward, let alone marry him. I'm going to throw my book at the wall if she does. I honestly hope she won't become a vampire. It's such a horrible way to live... always subjected to thirst. Never able to die. Never able to live normally. Always... there. Never ending. Just living on, while everyone else you know dies. Never feeling warmth. Always being cold. It's just a sucky way to live, in my opinion. I can sympathize with Rosalie... I would hate that kind of existence as well. I also think that in Breaking Dawn, Jake might end up dying (I say that only because there are so many Romeo and Juliet references in Eclipse).
I don't particularly like Bella in Twilight, but I do like her in New Moon and Eclipse. I hate Edward in all three books. I love Jacob in all three. My favorite book is Eclipse or New Moon (not sure which... I love New Moon because Edward is gone and Jake is in it so much, but I like Eclipse because it has the most in depth plot). I hate Twilight. I refuse to read it. It sucks, in my opinion.
Most of the time I'm not a fan-fic person. I don't ever read them because I think it's silly to try to make your own story that way. I've only read one or two that seemed like they actually fit in with the books at all.

When she's with Edward, she's always worrying or freaking out or panicking or comparing her "pitiful self to amazing Edward". She seems almost like she's a slave to him. When she's with Jake, she seems content. Happy to be her. And on top of that, I can understand *why* Bella and Jake love each other because you can see their relationship develop throughout the books. There isn't a whole lot of development in Edward and Bella's relationship (IMO). But I can understand why Jake loves her and why he does the things he does. He's not as mature as Edward, but his love is raw... more pure (IMO). And he's not perfect-- he makes mistakes. He does stupid things. He has human flaws. That makes his love all the move impressive to me. Jake is just the perfect package to me... muscles, looks, AND the best personality EVER.
In my fantasy world, Bella leaves Edward and marries Jake instead. But that's not going to happen. Stephenie Meyer is going to give us the typical cliche "And Edward and Bella got married and she became a vampire and lived happily ever after with her 'true love'" ending in Breaking Dawn so that the Edward lovers won't hunt her down and kill her. I don't want her to even BE with Edward, let alone marry him. I'm going to throw my book at the wall if she does. I honestly hope she won't become a vampire. It's such a horrible way to live... always subjected to thirst. Never able to die. Never able to live normally. Always... there. Never ending. Just living on, while everyone else you know dies. Never feeling warmth. Always being cold. It's just a sucky way to live, in my opinion. I can sympathize with Rosalie... I would hate that kind of existence as well. I also think that in Breaking Dawn, Jake might end up dying (I say that only because there are so many Romeo and Juliet references in Eclipse).
I don't particularly like Bella in Twilight, but I do like her in New Moon and Eclipse. I hate Edward in all three books. I love Jacob in all three. My favorite book is Eclipse or New Moon (not sure which... I love New Moon because Edward is gone and Jake is in it so much, but I like Eclipse because it has the most in depth plot). I hate Twilight. I refuse to read it. It sucks, in my opinion.
Most of the time I'm not a fan-fic person. I don't ever read them because I think it's silly to try to make your own story that way. I've only read one or two that seemed like they actually fit in with the books at all.
How do you?
Eat a kumquat? I just bought some with my dad at the store but we have no freakin idea how to eat them! ;) Please don't answer unless you really know!
How do you?
What we used to do is roll/squeeze the kumquat in our fingers before eating. The rolling/sqeezing releases the oils in the skin and helps sweeten it up a little.
Yes, you eat everything, skin and all.
It still has a slight sourness to them, but not bad when ripe.
Edit... from wikipedia to show that I ain't daft and off my rocker.
Uses
Kumquats are frequently eaten raw. As the rind is sweet and the juicy center is sour, the raw fruit is usually consumed either whole, to savour the contrast, or only the rind is eaten. The fruit is considered ripe when it reaches a yellowish-orange stage, and has just shed the last tint of green. The Hong Kong Kumquat has a rather sweet rind compared to the rinds of other citrus fruits.

Reply:two ways,
1) preferably whole. eat the entire thing.
2) or if the inside is too sour for you, and it is very sour (like a lemon) inside, then you can just nibble off the skin.
Reply:You eat the whole thing. As a child my parents had a tree and I loved sour things so I would peel them and eat just the insides. It wasn't until I was older that I learned to eat the entire fruit. It's a sweet and sour contrast. Good stuff.

Lived in florida for three years, and still not sure of what you're looking for. The fruits that i thought it might be aren't close to your description. I checked my book, ABC's of fruits and vegtables, and still couldn't find anything that fits your description...anything else you could tell would help.
